Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater Discuss Lorenz Hart's Transformation in 'Blue Moon'

Imagine two friends, a director and an actor, who have worked together many times before.

They made a movie about a famous songwriter named Larry Hart, who was very smart and funny but felt small.

The actor, Ethan Hawke, played Larry, and the director, Richard Linklater, helped him become the character.

They said it was like taking things away to show the real Larry, who they described as an 'open wound.'

This means they focused on his feelings and his cleverness.

They wanted to show how he felt when his songwriting partner started working with someone new.

It was a special way of working together to make the character believable.
